24 De Setiembre Group's story

The 24 de Setiembre group is in its 3rd cycle. The group is made up of 8 members. All the members are present in the photograph and they are happy to continue as a team that is working for a better future.

Ysrrael is 59 years old and has three children who are his main inspiration. He lives with his wife who makes her living selling prepared foods and they both make a go of it. He describes himself as a happy man. For ten years he has had his business selling fish at wholesale and retail. That is why his biggest challenge is to buy more boats. At the same time his dream is to have a fishing crew that he will only supervise.

In addition to this business his other source of income is his charcoal business.

He will use this Kiva loan to buy a boat and increase his fishing harvest and to be able to supply his customers and to have better profits.

In this group: Javier Antonio, Nelida , Karina , Jorge Luis, Gloria , Ysrrael Roberto, Nancy Nade, Belma
